Annie took a few steps closer to the girl, "Okay what do you know? What have you heard and why are you here?"
"Oh come on sister, you don't get to make that big of a row with you're pet dog and your Edward wannabe with out catching someone's attention and word travels pretty quickly. We don't like to mix with those kinds of things very much, but word does travel and then it gets around that you gave up your door to help those two freaks. Well, let's just say you should be thanking your dead stars that there are a lot of ghosts contained by their walls or else you'd have quite a lot of angry poltergeists marching down your little street. Luckily, for the time being, they've just sent me to try to talk some sense into you."
"Hold up, what the hell are you going on about?" Annie was beyond flustered by now. "I did what I did to help my friends; they are any more freaks than me or you for that matter."
Juliene was now pacing around the front room, she stopped again faced Annie. "You and me are nothing like them. We are humans that are no longer living, but we are still humans just not ones that are still breathing. The only thing that happened to us was natural no matter the story. They are freaks; abominations of human beings. We are the things that send shivers up the spines of the livings, but they are what haunt their dreams. They are the monsters!"
At that a coffee cup sped across the room, flying through Juliene and crashing into the wall, its contents dripping down the wall.
"Impressive," Juliene said, not taking her eyes off of Annie.
"I think you need to go now."
"Oh, really? Do you need to get supper on the table for the monster menfolk? Do you actually enjoy being kept her as their pet?"
"I am not being kept here." Annie was the one pacing now, and things around the house were starting to rattle.
"They might have you fooled now, but eventually they'll show their true colors. You think that they're actually staying here for you? Because they care about you?" Juliene spat out each phrase. "They only care about themselves, trying to eek out a little humanity from the closest thing to a real human they can get! And why? Because they they think they can't hurt you? Because you can't leave? You're being used!"
She was yelling; she was to upset to yell. "You need to leave."
"Not until you see what's going on here -"
At that a noise came from the doorway, neither girl could say how long it had been open. Mitchell was standing inside it, with a rather confused looking George peaking over his shoulder
"No," Mitchell said with a cool intonation that would send chills up anyone's spin. "She's right it's time for you to go."
They stared down each other until finally Juliene gave one of her shrugs and pushed passed them. Mitchell stepped expertly out of the way and in to the house, but George landed backside down on the pavement and scrabbled to the doorway with hurt pride. Juliene just stood outside the house, facing them. Mitchell grabbed George by the shoulder, wrenching him inside and slamming the door in one smooth movement.
George, nose only a few inches away from the now closed door, was the first to break the silence. "What was that all about? Annie?" He turned. Mitchell was just staring at the otherwise empty room.
George squeaked again, "Annie?"
